Maybe, but try an auto parts store first. Get the cleaner and conditioner - 2 bottles.

Yelling .. throwing a tantrum and stamping thier feet never got my kids what they wanted...... Not the end of the world.

Mix up a 6:1 mix of water & Woolite and use a cheap M/F towel . Spray the area and roll the towel up and aggitate the stain. It should transfer to the towel.

so you installed it or the mechanics installed it..

Next time do it yourself

but serious note Lexol I found some at Wal Mart once before. Just grab some and condition your seats every 6 months or so. Woolite is the shit as well!

One product I like to use for leather is Optimum Power Clean. I use it at 3:1 ratio with a couple spray onto a microfiber towel. Wipe it on and stain and buff it off with a new mf towel. One thing I would like to emphasize is that do let the product dry or "run". Otherwise you will not be disappointed. You can safely use this product for exterior or interior as well.

This product will also remove oil / grease from finished leather

With a reaction like that, you should probably just sell the car.
